Per various outlets, a post titled "Park Seo Joon's Screen Time On The Marvels" garnered the attention of netizens as it highlighted the actor's total screen time, appearing only in 2 minutes and 47 seconds.
Fans criticized MCU for putting the South Korean star in several promos but ended up appearing only in less than 3 minutes.
